Hi Doc Tony • Trying to grasp the chaos of wires. • Technical Side.

My issue is tracking down all the wires, if an issue comes up. I have 10 Engines on Lionel Cab #1 and 16 Engines on Mike's TIU / DCS Remote Control. The best part of all this is one engine on LionChief Plus.

If a problem comes up on the TIU / DCS, I could have 16 engines go down. If a problem happens with LionChief Plus, only one engine goes down.

All the wires in this photo have labels and match up to the technical drawings to make it all work, but it looks like chaos.

Back in the day I used to build a lot of Heathkit projects. Even did a color TV, so I do have a little understanding of electronics. Wires can be organized chaos.

Four bricks, one for each main line & one brick for accessories, not seen in photo.
